I didn’t want to use the word ‘cult’; but there seem to be some similar tactics in play.
I don't like using the word either, but a lot of the Q folks behave like cultists when confronted with derision, disbelief, wisecracks, or just plain old skepticism.
I finally quit posting on Q threads because of the hostility I encountered from many of the true believers.
I'll still comment about Q, but only on threads I consider to be open to the general public.
It’s a religion, for some. Some of the Q people here on FR display a personal nastiness to non-believers that is typical of leftists. Belittle, disparage, get personal. They ridicule freepers, personally. They have driven people from the board. It’s why I don’t donate. It’s ruined the place.
I freely ridicule the Q movement, and its followers in general. A horn honk? That’s their proof?!? Really? Rotflmao! Like that. But I do not ridicule the believers personally. They do not, however, reciprocate. I’ve been called lots of names for questioning, doubting.
Q said Hillary was arrested, same with Podesta, off to gitmo, and that the CIA is in control of, and developing nukes in, North Korea.
And the Q folks here on FR believe it.
That tells me how bogus it is.
But the purpose? See tagline. That’s my theory. And it is working—the psyops. We should have torched DC by now.
